1. Shaping Your Vision:
Every year Fisher College’s MBA program admits a select
group of talented young professionals with demonstrated
potential to become successful business leaders in an
increasingly competitive, global environment. Briefly
summarize your professional accomplishments to date. Why do
you want to earn an MBA degree in general and a Fisher
College MBA specifically? Include your goals post-MBA and
your plan for achieving them (maximum 750 words).
2. Focusing on Leadership: Another of Fisher
College’s strengths is its dedication to developing leaders.
Below are 10 attributes that characterize great leaders.
Please select the two criteria that best describe you, your
leadership style or your leadership successes to date and
provide us with concrete evidence of your accomplishments.
You may submit physical objects, images, photographs or
photocopies, along with brief descriptions of how the
objects exemplify the leadership qualities (example: to
illustrate endurance, you might share a copy of a marathon
medal along with a paragraph describing your marathon
experience) or you may choose to write an essay for each of
the two characteristics you select, describing situations in
